"Get comfortable with being uncomfortable"   This is how one of my latest podcast guests describes the secret moving on after being laid off.   The idea for this latest episode came to me after noticing many people openly sharing their "open to work" status on LinkedIn, alongside updates about their efforts to remain positive.    This sparked my curiosity about the less discussed aspects of the lay off experience, the professional and personal challenges that aren't typically aired, especially the emotions that accompany the inevitable changes that happen after being laid off.   For this episode I was joined by not one but two experienced leaders who between them have worked at some of the most prominent tech companies in the industry including LinkedIn, Microsoft, Oracle, Citrix, Okta and HubSpot.   Join me, Sacha Dekker and Jamie McDonnell as we talk:   Coping with the change that unexpected job loss presentsFinding solace and inspiration in hobbiesAligning job opportunities with personal valuesThe importance of a strong support networkThe evolving role of AI in search, recruitment, hiring, learning and life
